Parental engagement in activities that are focused on student learning must be prepared thoroughly and carefully (ideally from the start of the year) according to what role is appropriate (audience, student support, source of knowledge, organisers or even evaluators).
From my experience, it seems to be much easier to get parents' participation as audience or students' supportors rather than as other roles.
Nevertheless, most parents tend to get engaged whenever they really feel that their participation is important to their childs' wellbeing and success. Therefore, school (as a whole) and teachers individually should develop activities that stimulate parents to participate and build simple and effective communication channels between them (between school and family).

My class is doing a Diary with all the activities done this school year using Padlet. Parents were invited to participate last meeting on Wednesday 8th November and they loved the idea. They feel like learners again

I think parents love to be asked to help their children with their school life (whether that be with their studying, a project or dressing up for a fancy dress party!) and when they're asked to, they actually come up with very insightful ideas!

It is important to involve parents as they are increasingly disinterested and delegate the school for everything.
Involving them means bringing the students to the training success.

Families are the largest allies of an "open door" school, open to parental opinion, to participation in school activities. Collaborative work between school, family and students can lead to successful learning. Parents have to be understood as partners and not as intruders.

I think school can help parents and students understand the importance of learning in workshops and meetings.
School can give information to parents about students´ progress and areas that need to be work and explain that homework tasks are part of the learning process.
School can promote reading and culture activities that involve students, parents and community in general, in the way learning is part of life and we all are learners.

I think we have to listen what parents say, we have to value their precious hints because they are the ones who better know their children. By my experience I can tell that when parents feel they are heard they become more involved and place themselfs beside teachers in school matters and by that the students learning improves.
